Community Infrastructure Levy – Draft Charging Schedule

Community Infrastructure Levy – Draft Charging Schedule (2016)

This consultation has ended.

Having now adopted the South Worcestershire Development Plan in February 2016 the South Worcestershire Councils (Malvern Hills, Worcester and Wychavon Councils) are continuing the process of preparing a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). CIL is a charge that local authorities in England can place on new development in their area. The money generated through the Levy will contribute towards the funding of infrastructure to support growth in South Worcestershire.

A Draft Charging Schedule has been developed which sets out the proposed charging rates for South Worcestershire, building on feedback from the Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule consultation carried out in the spring of 2015. The Councils consider that the Draft Charging Schedule, which incorporates updated viability evidence from January 2016, strikes an appropriate balance between contributing to funding infrastructure and not putting development across South Worcestershire at risk.

Consultation on the CIL DCS will run for six weeks from9:00 am Friday 1st April 2016 to 5:00 pm Monday 16th May 2016.

The following CIL maps show the same boundaries for the main urban areas as those CIL maps already published (Appendix B of the Draft Charging Schedule) and are simply more detailed in order to assist interested parties who are considering making a representation.
